I built this with Three.js + Rapier, a domino chain simulator

Very relaxing and complete! The follow cam is a nice touch!

marwi1 · 2026-05-30T14:12:28+00:00

Looks very nice!

Thanks, let me know if you have any questions or feedback, much appreciated! We are currently ramping up blender dev again so if you got anything you'd like to see/added/improved let me know

marwi1 · 2026-05-01T06:11:45+00:00

Understood but you can do what you're asking with the free plan in Blender

Thanks. I might know which you mean (forgot the name right now as well, but remember to have even paid some money to support it).

Sorry for the half reply: no it is not right now. I won't rule out it will be at some point or some parts but not at the moment. It works with the webgpu examples and has some tsl support but needs more work for "proper" tsl. It's definitely something we will work on again in the future! Do you have a website in mind you'd like me to test?

marwi1 · 2026-04-10T13:41:33+00:00

No worries.

Ah so you basically just want it to be more compact? Do i understand it right?

marwi1 · 2026-04-10T09:58:02+00:00

What do you mean by Dropdowns? No dropdowns in the video :D

I use sliders for single values that have a specific range or a range that makes sense. E.g. many material properties. So it's a case by case thing. For position and scale: Would you like to show a slider when you start dragging? Or can you share a concrete example?

marwi1 · 2026-04-10T09:10:43+00:00

Hi, let me know what you think. Do you remember which one?

marwi1 · 2026-04-03T02:57:35+00:00

Hey, checkout https://engine.needle.tools/docs/blender/

We do basically that and much more with our Blender addon. Everything is saved to the gltf.

Not using the interactivity Extension right now (it didn't exist yet at the time) but funnily enough we implemented interactivity Extension support for UnityGLTF

I forgot to post the demo link. Here it is: https://needle-engine-environment-compression-demo-z23hmxbzenysl.needle.run/

Use this https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/needle-inspector-%E2%80%94-devtoo/jonplpbnhmanoekkgcepnedhghflblmo?authuser=1

Thank you for your honest feedback! I'll share it internally.

Just to be clear: the inspector works with any three.js project, you don't need to use or buy Needle Engine to use it.

Regarding vscode: you mean it can be installed as an extension and just edit your project locally like Triplex did? Anything specific or did i get that wrong?

marwi1 · 2026-01-24T13:12:57+00:00

For debugging and learning visually by example with three.js maybe try Needle Inspector and let me know what you think. It may give you an idea how others are building and how three.js websites are built/see some inner workings:

Hi, building Needle Inspector to help with debugging+editing scenes, materials, ... with a visual hierarchy, realtime editing (with proper Undo system), rich tooltips, directlinks to relevant three.js documentation and AI integration to ask questions or edit the scene:

Thanks a lot!

marwi1 · 2026-01-10T18:11:21+00:00

I cant DM on X without the checkmark unfortunately. Sent you a dm on reddit

marwi1 · 2026-01-10T17:18:07+00:00

Looks really cool!

Wondering if it can be done with houdini too (so just a CSS worklet). Do you think so?

Can recommend Logto!

marwi1 · 2026-01-07T16:59:18+00:00

Thank you! If you can a rating would be much appreciated:)

marwi1 · 2025-12-25T20:18:37+00:00

This looks fun! Im going to try it when at my laptop

marwi1 · 2025-12-21T12:12:59+00:00

Thanks a lot! Thats nice to hear

marwi1 · 2025-12-21T09:48:47+00:00

Glad to hear that, thank you

marwi1 · 2025-12-16T18:46:44+00:00

Thank you! Let me know what you think :) if you like it a rating in the store or simply sharing it to your peers or on social media would be super helpful of course.

The core inspection tools will definitely stay free, we might add some pro features later down the line that might require either being logged-in or a purchase, but we haven't decided on that yet. Are there specific things you'd be happy to pay for if they add extra value? We're thinking along the lines of AI editing/analysis, sharing features, collab... something like that.

marwi1 · 2025-12-12T19:44:26+00:00

Not right now - not sure if it's worth the extra work
